. good evening, everyone. welcome to this early sunday night sports wrap. we keep waiting for the raiders to give us just a little kernel of hope. but after today's effort at the oakland coliseum, the hope is not yet in sight. carson palmer and his team with the tough chore of trying to keep up with the offensive drew brees and the saints, already 7-0 new orleans in the first quarter. things got worse in a hurry. palmer picked off by malcolm jenkins. this one's not coming back. jenkins goes 55 yards to the end zone. new orleans' lead is 14. oakland trying to get back in it in the second quarter, palmer rolls out, this time spots one of his guys, brandon myers in the end zone. it was 14-7, with 4 minutes left in the half. that was plenty of time for the saints to get on the board again. brees steps away from trouble. he'll then fire to the end zone for lance moore, 38-yard play
5:50 pm
allowing the saints to go into the loom with the 21-7 lead. not a development enjoyed by anyone wearing silver & black. saints set the tone in the second half on their very first play from scrimmage. mark ingram found the edge, on his way to a 27-yard score. 28-7 and the raiders never got close the rest of the way. 38-17 new orleans. the raiders fall to 3-7 and doesn't get any easier next week, when they travel to cincinnati. >> we just got to go back to work, keep grinding. you know, those guys in that locker room, there's nobody that hurts any worse than they do. >> is this now a rebuilding year? >> no. i'm not into rebuilding years. i mean, what we've got to do is we've got to continue to develop and we've got to continue to go to work and keep trying to get better every day. that's all i know how to do. the 49ers have monday night duty tomorrow evening at candlestick park against the bears. no official word on whether alex smith will play after suffering that concussion last week.
